I recently replaced the front wheel bearings in my 84 GL which required
pulling the speedo cable out of the left front hub.
I unintentionally pulled the cable way out of it's sheath but pushed it
back easily so I wasn't expecting any problems. This is the cable that runs
to the OXS idiot light counter box, not to the speedo itself. Anyway, now
the odometer doesn't work. The speedometer needle works but not the
odometer. It seems any cable problem would affect both the speedo and the
odometer not just one or the other.  Is this just some weird coincidence?
Normally I wouldn't worry about it too much but my gas gauge doesn't work
and now I have no idea when I need gas. Guess I'll have to use a stick down
the ol' filler neck.
Any insight would be appreciated.
